Etymology

Armenia comes from old names used by nearby peoples, like Greek Armênia and Old Persian Armina, which named the people who lived there. A helpful story links the name to a long-ago leader called Aram, so you can remember Armenia as 'the land of Aram' and as a country named after its people.
